If anyone can give me some advice on this before I go and spend large amounts of cash I haven't got I would be very grateful.
I run a standard UK 1991 TT (auto). The speedo works when it feels like it. All other instruments work fine. The rev counter works smoothly and the mileometer/trip work fine. The speedo normally works when it is raining, on dry days usually nothing. If it reads nothing and you floor it-( say 80mph for arguments sake), it will go straight up to 80 mph and then drop down to zero regardless of what speed you are doing. I have had it flip over and come to a rest at max (190 on clock), then a couple of days later it flipped back to zero. When it is working it usually is flicker free and moves smoothly as speed increases.
If the worse is the case and the speedo head needs replacing any advice would be useful. New from Nissan I understand approx £400. From courtesy your looking at £250 delivered although I have been told it doesn't work directly with the UK setup. Should I source one second hand are they the same in turbo/non turbo and also manual/automatic.
